Welcome to Breach Inlet, Isle of Palms, SC

The Breach Inlet separates Isle of Palms from Sullivan’s Island. A bridge crosses the body of water to connect the islands. The inlet is very deep and has a dangerously strong current, causing there to be signs advising against swimming in the area. While it is a great spot for fishing, photography, and porpoise-sightings, caution is advised as the beaches can be unstable at times as well. The Isle of Palms is a popular vacation destination due to its beaches, resorts and restaurants.
